This evening was time to have her hair cut. What was planned as a 3 week gradual thing slowly getting shorter turned into.... I think I will have it all cut off now.
She sat there looking at her reflection in the window as her hair got shorter, then the clippers did the rest.
I've never seen so much hair on the floor but yet so much was just falling out the night before.
I'm glad in a way it's happened sooner rather than later as I've been really worried about her getting upset about it. Now it's not the unknown anymore.
